Waiting on Wednesday 2/20


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. I also feature books that may have already released, but I am anxiously waiting to read.

This week, I'm featuring:
The Ward
The Ward
Frankel, Jordana

Sixteen-year-old Ren is a daredevil mobile racer who will risk everything to survive in the Ward, what remains of a water-logged Manhattan. To save her sister, who is suffering from a deadly illness thought to be caused by years of pollution, Ren accepts a secret mission from the government: to search for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a cure.

However, she never expects that her search will lead to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist; a web of deceit and lies; and an earth-shattering mystery that’s lurking deep beneath the water’s rippling surface.

Jordana Frankel’s ambitious debut novel and the first in a two-book series, The Ward is arresting, cinematic, and thrilling—perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld or Ann Aguirre.

 Releases: April 30th 2013 by Katherine Tegen Books

What are you waiting on?

    The cover of this wasn't really speaking to me but now that I've read the summary, it actually sounds really good. I love the sound of the passionate young scientist!

    I saw this one on an Epic Reads Arc party and wasn't quite sure what to think about it. It does sounds really interesting but I think this is one I'm going to have to see reviews on first.
    I love the cover though!
